Don't change anything right now.
Don't change anything while you are depressed.
Go to your doctor and tell her that you are depressed.
Go far a short walk every day while the sun is up or rest outside. Eat nutritious foods. Drink water. If you can drink juiced vegetables and take vitamins.
Get enough sleep. Between 8 and 9 hours a day. .
listen to upbeat music. Christian praise music is great.
If you are choosing something to watch on tv or in the movies pick a comedy. Funniiest home videos is a great inside massage for me. Think about things that make you laugh. If children's faces make you smile. look at baby magazines or childrens pictures. Even the baby pictures in weekly store adds. IE Sears, JC Pennys, can brink a smile to my face.
Learn to laugh at yourself. Think of something that you have done that makes you laugh at your self. Everybody has them. Sometimes I crack myself up. Anyhow, when you learn to laugh at yourself, you'll never cease to be entertained.

When one is depressed is not the time to make any big life changes. Big life changes can bring on depression by themselves, even good changes.
1. See a doc to discuss the depression, whether it is situational (due to a particular circumstance like job or marriage) or general ( for no particular reason)
2. Get the depression treated. After a few weeks, if you are proactive with the depression, you will begin to feel hope again. Hang on.
3. Then, when you can say you are no longer depressed, that is the time to evaluate and make changes - slowly. One life change at a time.
Watch the movie What About Bob - very funny movie about a multi phobic guy (Bill Murray) - but there is wisdom there in the baby steps theory. Watch it, it will make you smile. And remember when anything seems overwhelming, baby steps, just take baby steps.

Dan, should you go to your doctor first? tell him what you're feeling, and see what an outsider thinks? Depression can play some major tricks on you. Don't go off changing your entire life in a blink.....but changing jobs is something you can investigate....Divorce is something you need to think about, and talk to someone you trust about your feelings. Think of the reasons for these things.....if all the reasons are the same, maybe it's just depression.....talk to someone first, okay?

To divorce and wanting to change your job may not necessarily be the solutions...
Better look for the cause of your depression and you'll feel better

I can help you with advice if you can explain to me:
1)Why you are very depressed
2)Why you want to divorce
3)Why you want to quit from your existing job
4)What kind of new job you will select
You must introspect yourself objectively and honestly.You do not see only the mistakes of your spouse.You must not be selfish.You must pray everyday to our God Almighty asking for calmity and asking for showing a right path.You must wake up after midnight and pray in a silent condition and let God to solve your problems.You must dedicated your life for God by loving and helping others.Please make others be happy with your assistants in your office and your family and your surroundings
in society.You must discuss your home problems with your spouse and seek together a best solution.You must discuss also your office issues with your superior and search a best solution for it.Take everything easy and in every difficulty there is a certain easy solution.Do not your office problems bring home and do not your home problems bring to the office.Let gone be by gone.You must try hard to solve or handle your personal problems and office problems separately..

With depression you should seek counseling first. Depression could be the only problem, not your spouse or job. People that are depressed tend to blame their job or spouse for all the problems instead of solving the real issue.

Pray. Find a good church. Exercise. Read. Try Facing Codependence by Pia Mellody. It is a good start. It helped change my life. Traveling Light by Max Lucado is a great read also. See a therapist. They can help guide you in making positive changes in your life. They can also help you discover what is at the root of your problems so you can deal with it and it will no longer control your life. Good luck and God bless.

get a life coach, or go for a vacation in the intention to envision your new life and how you visualize it to be. Because everything where youa re now is distoring the image of what lays ahead of you.
Good Luck
